Looks great! I'll definitely give it a chance. As I type this, the massively overhauled version of 'Skyward Ascent' is being uploaded
Why couldn't you have waited another month or so?
*Shakes fist* Didn't mean to insult; Pantheon looks awesome!

and sorry for triple post, forgot to check if id made the most recent post
(if theres a way to put posts together any moderators are welcome to do it, if now pm me, and ill edit them together, and you can delte the extras)
i did this because the last forums i have been active on combined double posts *facepalm*
Got to the spider web thingy, too scared, will try again with the 0.99 release.
I went to see the trap that you probably put in place of bRandonn's diamond gear, you should make sure the player can't retrieve their stuff afterwards, I actually got extra blocks from it.
I am now on the actual "Pantheon" it seems. I made dirt houses with the semi-built ones (I could care less about the pretty job). Actually, that was a bad idea, oh noes. A ghast destroyed it *pusses out while monsters come from all directions*
So I'm struggling through the starting area, which is most certainly not "silent". Just got passed the first web room, and WTFFFFF CAVESPIDERS RLY DUDE WHY
The difficulty patch is now uploaded, links are updated!
Ended up only touching two areas, but it should just improve Quality of Life for the player. People worried about food though, take a careful look around Silent Start instead of running - there are some incredible supplies about.
Changes:
-Removed a few spawners that made life too chaotic
Great, already started! I wil give updates and post them here as i play/
[/spoiler]
Got into the spawn area and conqured the spawn with no difficulty. I think that is intended, however. Found the twisted cat otw. Asthetics look good, as i make my way past the spawn, past the rules, and into the first dungeon....[spoiler]
Died in the first dungeon already because of the arrow spamming skeletons in the snapshat as i tried to make a regen-box. Maybe i should play on 1.4.7. Now i lost the brea and need to re-attempt.[spoiler] yep, restarting the map on 1.4.6. Those spammy skellies are just too much :3 [spoiler]how do you o these spoiler things?

They're removed in the updated copy. I felt they were a little too much for what we had given you.
Really excited to see Pantheon has come out and can't wait to try it, however having read the warning in the OP (the its in Gamma thing) i was wondering if I should wait. I don't want an exact date obviously but is delta soon (in a week) or a long time off like 2 months?
It really depends on what people think need doing. We have a list of visual stuff that could take a week or so, but then there's the gameplay worries. I'm more than willing to buff/nerf thing myself, if its really needed, but I think this version is quite playable.
Yerrrssss, I got past Silent Start... I think. All I know is that I'm in an area with sunlight. I was about to investigate further but I got immediately assaulted by everything ever.

Not quite out yet! If you have the updated, that area will be a lot more bearable. Just keep yourself moving
As I can't record Minecraft at anything above 15 FPS, I'll post a few screenshots of my progress every so often, as long as nobody minds. These will, of course, always be in spoilers.
I restarted the map in the new update. I'm glad I have more bread now, as I accidentally threw away the one bread I had in the previous version. I found two chests in the starting area, one with Stone Tools and Food, and another with 64 cobble. I'm sure these will prove very useful. I've made my way to the cobweb area I was at before, and discovered, to my surprise, this.
I added the second chest myself, but this is basically what I found. I turned it into this.
In case you can't read the sign, it says "ERMAHGERD HOUSE" I would have put "ERMAHGERD HEARSE" but that has a completely different meaning. These are my supplies.
Pretty basic, but I do have stone tools and some cobble, which I like. The only thing not shown here is a pair of leather pants that I had on at the time. Also a bunch more leather pants are currently sitting in a chest near the beginning. I might go back for those eventually.
Anyway, that's my progress for now. If you don't want me to post screenshots like this again, I won't. Just thought I'd try it out and see if it was alright.
So I started LPing pantheon and kind of ballsed up the starting area - My typical slow and steady playstyle hast betrayed me somewhat. It sounds like the corrections fix a lot of that though, so I am going to redownload and give it another try.
Suggestion...
Swimming down the tunnel at the start was terribly tedious and not actually challenging once I ran out of boat. It really ruined an otherwise awesomely designed area for me. Perhaps more boats for less pants?
An alternate would be to throw in some webs near the giant pantheon sign. It would give the player a start on making a bed. For true evil you could stick a cave spider spawner in them and put them over the exit bridge where they can drop on the players head while they are trying to repair it. Spider eyes would also help the food problem, so it's a two-fer.

Please only+ me if I post something funny or informative.
Thanks. I'm probably not going to post them too often, only when I create a new base, or when an area seems really screenshot-worthy or something along those lines. I currently am sitting in the white wool fleecy box, trying to figure out the best way to get out and get up the stairs. Assuming that's even where I'm supposed to go next.

Well, there's not really a food problem and definitely not in the current version... Aside from that, we could add an extra boat. There should be two now.

I just want to say a big thanks to all of those who worked on this map (and continue to do so). Personally, I don't have the time to play it in beta, but when it's fully released you can be sure that I'll be ready! (Ready as in ready to be tortured to death mercilessly thousands of times.)
I figured that out once I conquered the room. I made it out to an area with sunlight, and thought I was safe.
Ha, yeah right.
I ended up rushing that area, running as fast as I could to avoid the
ghasts. Really, dude? Ghasts before the first intersection?!?
Anyway, I ran around trying to find where to go. I eventually did, got to a corner nearby, and hid in a crybox. At this point I decided to take a look at my health. HALF A HEART. I had managed to rush that area and take exactly 9.5 hearts of damage (I wasn't regenerating) and didn't even notice until I had sealed myself into a crybox.
About 30 seconds later I broke out, pushed the button, broke the glowstone, and saw this.
I very nearly cried with relief. It looks incredible as well, props to whoever made it.
I honestly can't believe I made it. There's still some items that need to be rescued from the previous area, but I think I'll do that later. Like MUCH later, if possible.
Also, a review of the first area.
Difficult. Incredibly difficult. But doable. I liked it, to be honest. I basically just rushed the whole thing, apart from finding the chests in the first part. I can't even count how many cryboxes are scattered throughout Silent Start now. Once I got to the webs, I just moved from crybox to crybox, taking out the spawners I saw along the way. When I have better gear (i.e. TORCHES), I think I'll go back and actually conquer Silent Start fully, for now I'm just glad to leave it as far behind me as it is possible for it to be.
I apologize for my constant large posts here. I've been playing Pantheon obsessively ever since it came out. This'll probably calm down tomorrow (because I'll be playing IM obsessively instead). I'm certainly not going to post something like this every time I beat an area. Probably just a small review of the area and a screenshot or two.
ill download your map now Krose

Overall I am enjoying the map. My favorite area is
Isn't life never less chaotic in this map?

Can't wait to play;)

Rumblehiss has it. It's actually before the whole wool area, right by the start to Depths.
And darn, I really love both of those areas for all the awesome aesthetics an some excellent gameplay objectives
